What context makes it okay to want someone dead whose biggest crime is that people "revile" him on the internet? I mean common, its the internet. Pretty much anyone of note announces they're going to die there's some **** waiting to post anonymously about how glad they are they're dying. But in this case you seem to be saying you're perfectly okay with people wishing death and experiencing glee over same just because they annoyed some electrons in a way that annoyed you. Seems a bit...out of proportion, maybe?

Well aliens are one cool explanation. But it seems most scientists are taking a "well it can't be ruled out at this time".

And will Jason always be about 12 feet behind them no matter how fast they're running once they do fall down? I can see the Jason HUD now, a pop-up that says "Player 5 has fallen down and twisted their ankle - teleport to 12 feet behind them: Y/N"

The obvious solution is to change "Columbus Day" to "Columbo Day". People still get a day off and you got to admit, Peter Falk did kind of own that role. We in the USA can then capitalize on it (in more than one meaning of that word) by encouraging people to send "Oh and one more thing..." cards to one another on that day and selling candy cigars. It'd also make anyone who owned a Peugeot 403 into instant Parade material.

Looking at the blurry image, I'm pretty sure $3,500 says "Single Player Challenge Survival Mode". Hard to tell on the earlier ones (they seem more blurred, and I think some have clever names rather than saying exactly what they are).

I can't help but worrying as well - even if I was wanting to play multiplayer - that you'd only ever find MPers who wanted to play Jason, and rarely any who'd want to play the victims camp councilors.

It seems interesting, yeah, but multiplayer not for me. Maybe if they have single player as a stretch goal.

I see MK II and I'm thinking someone is talking about Mortal Kombat II. I see Mk II, I'm thinking Mark II.

Yeah I saw they listed VP as an inspiration after I read further. Might be enough to convince me to pledge to an indiegogo campaign.

It looks a lot like VALKYRIE PROFILE to me, both in having to traverse maps and the TALES-ish combat. I liked Skullgirls a lot, so this interests me as I thought the first VP game was one of the better games to come out at that time (the sequels I played were, IMO, rubbish).

Sounds like they got a traditional development deal and decided they didn't need the kickstarter, if I'm reading it right.

I love this picture so much. So I believe this picture is from a TLC UK thing (documentary? show?) that talked about Furries. In the article they talk about Furries being connected to Etherians. That's a term I haven't heard before, is it like a UK term for Otherkin or is it related to Meade Layne's alternate universe theory that UFOs are from another dimension (Etheria) or something else (like I'm mishearing "therianthropy" somehow)?

That is correct. Or rather, I can eat pizza and spaghetti...but it has to be sans any kind of sauce with anything even vaguely tomato-ey in it. Personally, I like pizza without any sort of sauce, while I'm perfectly amicable to spaghetti cooked in other sorts of sauces, such as garlic and olive oil and other things. Going for the pre-Neopolitan pizza. I can dig it. I won't be joining you there, but I can dig it. Hasn't worked for me personally, though it is sound advice. I keep starting side-projects for this purpose, but once I've kinda designed the ideas and what the product will be and such I run out of interest. I have a hard time doing it on anything other than whim nowadays. So what exactly did you want to do with graphic arts/games that you aren't getting in your job? At this point, I don't even know anymore. I always enjoy seeing a finished product, but the process of getting there... when I was learning new things, it was super interesting. Now that I know how everything works and can do it, it's just become a slog. I think I enjoyed learning about how to make a game more than I actually enjoy making a game. And that made me think I was really into game development. EDIT: I give up on the quoting system. So essentially what you want is diversity? A challenge? Have you considered trying to find some kickstarter (or similar indie venture) to volunteer with?

I like it, too, but I mean, c'mon, it's a supermarket fruit juice...you get what you pay for. *Except salsa where it is not the primary ingredient - unlike most supermarket "salsas" - and only specific, weaker-flavored (IMO) tomatoes: too strong or too much of tomatoes and you ruin the salsa for me. Blah. I put tomatoes AND ketchup on hamburgers. You can't be too careful with your tomato taste. Insurance Sales Agent, Pharmacist and Lawyer. Things that do, indeed, not appeal to me in the slightest. Hasn't worked for me personally, though it is sound advice.

I tried original V8 (I've probably tried the others but don't recall) and I love tomatoes. Tomato soup, raw tomatoes, etc. But somehow when they mix it up with real vegetables (tomato being a fruit and all) and I don't know, it just never really works for me.

I'm saying that I don't assume people-plants and/or plant-people are automatically concerned or care about the same things that people-humans do.

Instead of finding a different career, maybe try to work on a personal project that might renew your interest in the graphic arts or video games? I know of a couple of different commercial artists, for example, who created side comic strips as a way to remain connected to the things they love about art that they weren't getting in advertising or marketing.

Ah, if that's what they mean I wouldn't have put it that way. EDIT: The addition of non-person is what makes that the most ridiculous. Non-person is an "inclusive" term for those who claim they were born as the wrong species or even item. Otherkin. Furries. Those who identify as a dragon, or a plant, or a ****ing hoover. Because that kind of person needs to be included, instead of sent to a goddamn institution. If this is what they meant, then surely they're showing their human-centric bias in their thoughts? If I am a plant, then I care not for your human emotional structures like shame, surely...?

"non-person"?

I hate k-pop and dont have a clue what this clip was about but any skimpy clothes on anime girls are + in my book Apparently the main characters in Genei Ibun Roku X FE - besides being Mirage Masters, able to summon "Mirages" (souls of warriors from other worlds and based on Fire Emblem characters) so they can fight evil Mirages - all belong to a Talent Agency so that they have to be Pop Stars AND save the world. As I understand it.

I am immediately changing my lesson plans and putting Bugs in as a central character. That may be the one time Bugs didn't get lost at Albuquerque.

I see Trigger and I think "Roy Roger's horse". Sad, but true.

Does it have to "trigger" a lived event to be considered triggering? I recall watching the infamous Budd Dwyer suicide footage and then stupidly showing the person next to me without giving them sufficient context. They freaked out and broke down crying. I figured that would count as a "triggering". Or maybe tumblr has rotted my brain. Idk. I don't claim expertise; my understanding is that, yes, the trigger would be for a lived event, however the context may be vastly different than you expect which may make it difficult in broad situations (which is where I understand the concern of moving trigger warnings to general population arises) to understand what might actually trigger someone. A victim of rape by their father may be triggered by discussion of rape, sex, fathers, father-child relationships and things that remind/connect to their father or their rape. But also by talk of siblings (if father raped them), mothers (if there's knew and did nothing), etc. But to be triggered one must have some unwanted, unpleasant experience that one isn't ready to cope with reliving. Often on the internet what I see are people trying to stop discussions that could trigger rather than have triggered, so my experience (limited and anecdotal as it is) is with those not triggered trying to protect those who could be (rather than are/have been) triggered.

Won't someone think of the Fembots?

For a second there I thought they'd just stranded the pair on the alien world.
